The 'wow' factor is huge! The guides were great, and the activities were just right!

Afterward, you'll bike through Jackson Hole valley and Antelope Flats past herds of bison and historic log cabins. A scenic drive takes us north to Yellowstone Park where we'll explore Upper Geyser Basin and watch as Old Faithful, Yellowstone's most famous thermal phenomenon, erupts.

Dinner tonight is in the historic dining room of the Old Faithful Inn.

About the Old Faithful Inn & the Old Faithful Snow Lodge

Old Faithful Inn: A world-famous landmark opened in 1904, this stone and pine inn features a five-story lobby, views of Old Faithful and classic charm.

Old Faithful Snow Lodge: Completed in 1999, the Snow Lodge is the newest of the park’s full service hotels, and features heavy timber construction, exterior log columns and a cedar shingle roof, making it a significant example of classic “parkitecture.”

On Day 2, get ready to explore Lower Geyser Basin, the geothermal Fountain Paint Pots and the unforgettable Grand Prismatic. Peer over the brink of the Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River, listening to the powerful roaring of this magnificent waterfall.

Afterward, we'll depart on a backcountry hike full of surprises that include spectacular views high above Yellowstone Canyon.

We'll then shuttle to Lake Yellowstone Hotel for dinner and a beautiful starlit lakeside walk.

About the Lake Yellowstone Hotel & Cabins
Completed in 1981 and restored to its 1920s grandeur in 1990, this majestic hotel sits on the shores of Yellowstone Lake and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The serenity of Yellowstone Lake illuminates through the "Sun Room" windows, as guests daydream to the delicate sounds of a string quartet in the lobby. A casually elegant restaurant features a delightfully extravagant menu. The hotel’s nearby cabins offer a nice alternative to staying in the hotel itself.

Fortify yourself with a breakfast at Lake Hotel before embarking on an incredible hike to Storm Point.

After lunch and a stroll around the boardwalks at West Thumb Geyser Basin, drive south towards Jackson and take in the spectacular views.

Afterward, you'll shuttle to your accommodation for the night, Jackson Lake Lodge. This lodge overlooks the skyline of the Tetons and has a fantastic view of Mount Moran.

The evening is yours to explore and enjoy on your own!

About Jackson Lake Lodge
When it comes to Grand Teton National Park lodging, Jackson Lake Lodge is the largest of all the eco-friendly resorts.

The lobby is where it all begins, with 60-foot panoramic windows that frame the Teton Range and Jackson Lake. The rest of the property is well worth exploring and the beauty of the area will leave you wanting to come back for more.

On Day 4, we'll meet up for a hearty breakfast before heading out on a beautiful kayaking adventure via Colter Bay where you'll enjoy a picnic lunch with sensational mountain views in the background.

Afterward, we'll check out the visitor center in Moose, WY. And dinner tonight is at Trio Bistro followed by the wild and wooly Jackson Cowboy Rodeo!

About the Rustic Inn
This luxury lodge is everything but 'rustic.' Located on 7 lush acres adjacent to the National Elk Refuge and just a few blocks from Jackson's lively town square, the Rustic Inn Creekside Resort & Spa welcomes guests with warm Western hospitality.

Outdoor enthusiasts and hedonists alike indulge in the lavishly appointed historic lodging accommodations and luxury log cabins, state of the art resort amenities, revitalizing spa, innovative cuisine, year-round Wyoming activities and an idyllic setting. Relax in the outdoor heated pool, Jacuzzi and sauna, or take a walk along the beautifully landscaped trails beside Flat Creek.

This morning, take in panoramic views of the unforgettable Teton Mountains on a bike ride along the Wilson-Teton Village bike path.

Once you've seen the sights, we'll have lunch at a neat local restaurant in town where you can enjoy Teton to the fullest. But get ready, because afterward you'll be rafting some of Wyoming's finest whitewater through the scenic Snake River Canyon!

Tonight’s farewell dinner is at the exclusive Teton Pines.
